"For some visitors to Jerusalem, the spiritual rapture is overwhelming - and ultimately unhinging..."
(HT: American Jewish Life mag - where - ahem - I did the July 2006 cover story).
Here's the background and audio.
"For some visitors to Jerusalem, the spiritual rapture is overwhelming - and ultimately unhinging..."
Let's start by saying we're not forsaking Israel or siding with Hezbollah or proclaiming our love for Mel Gibson. But? We do think the Jew thing is a little tired. Who isn't Jewish nowadays? Being a part of the tribe, one of God's chosen ones -- we're just not so special anymore.We're not talking about Judaism overall (that's still rock solid); this is about the Jewish culture, and the culture's long been co-opted by the goyim. There was a time when being a member of the tribe helped you work the system and climb the ladder; nowadays, even all the non-Jews are so Jewish that the ladder's collapsed under their collective weight.
Look around you. Everyone New York is Jewish, even the anti-Semites -- especially the anti-Semites! There's got to be an anti-Semite Jewish mafia out there. You just know it.
